About Me

My name is Purity Wanjiru but most people call me Shiro. Shiro was born in Lamu County of Coast region of Kenya. Lamu is a along the Indian Ocean coastline and the main activity there is farming, fishing and tourism. I was born in a family of 8 and I am the third born.

I went for primary and then secondary school and then moved to Mombasa for a hair dressing course. Mombasa is a much bigger town than Lamu and I liked the urban life a lot and I decided to stick around after completing my course. Luckily I got a job as a hair stylist where I worked for 3 years before opening my own business a few years ago.

I am a hardworking person with a clear vision of what I want my future life to be and I am staying focused to that goal.

My Business

I run a beauty parlor in Mombasa town. This is a place where people (mostly) women come for a wide range of beauty services. Some of the services include hair care, pedicure and manicure as well as shaving services. The demand for these services is quite high because my parlor is situated near many offices and the workers come for beauty services regularly.

I also get clients through my social networks where I get crucial leads and referrals. The business earns me around $500 per month where I take home around $300 after paying all the expenses.

Loan Proposal

Like the previous loan, I will spend the money to buy beauty products that I use in my parlor. I will buy lotions, creams, shampoos etc. This money will be enough to buy a stock which I will use for 3 months.

I will save some money since I will get a good discount for buying in bulk thus increase my profit margin.

    Dear lenders, I am sorry I have to take this action due to plummeting profits that I am currently experiencing. I hope to recover soon and go back to paying a bigger amount. I hope you will understand my situation. Thank you all.
